I am looking for a Java reference source (a link or an e-book) for a quick look when writing a code and can't remember (or don't know) i.e. how does an operator look like, how is a loop structure, which Array list methods I can use, etc., etc.

I have got some references but there is often a problem to find a banal thing quickly.

I would appreciate any suggestion.

Thank you very much
T.

Use the java API and google on 'java tutorial' ...

I've downloaded the API doc and the Tutorial in zip format and unzipped it to local disk. I bookmarked my browser to the places I like to start reading.
I've also modified the search html file to search my local files so I can search only the Tutorial (for example) on my PC for terms, classes, methods etc.

I do this similarly, I've been just thinking of to have something comprehensive with well structured contents in one spot .

Thanks a lot.

Let us know if you find something more comprehensive than Sun's doc. Or better structured.
Not sure what "one spot" means?

I didn't mean it. As for a beginner the Sun's doc has seemed to me too complex. I will have to learn to use it.
